The    House 
the    Children    Built 


ONCE  upon  a  time  there  lived  a  good  and  beautiful 
Fairy  named  Health,  and  she  was  very  happy,  for 
all  around  were  flowers  and  trees  and  birds  and  in 
the  midst  of  these,  her  house. 

Now  Health's  house  was  built  of  bricks  and  shingles  and 
lovely  colored  glass.  One  day  when  the  sky  was  blue  and 
the  sun  shining,  down  the  road  came  an  ugly  old  Witch.  Her 
face  was  hard  and  her  eyes  were  very  cruel.  She  stopped 
in  front  of  Health's  lovely  garden  and  from  her  pocket 
drew  forth  a  yellow  ball  and  threw  it  with  all  her  strength 
toward  the  house. 

It  settled  on  the  roof,  and  where  it  fell  there  sprang 
forth  fire,  which  spread  and  spread  over  the  house,  until  it 
was  a  mass  of  flames.  Fairy  Health  ran  to  the  well  for 
water,  but  before  her  tiny  hands  could  draw  the  water  up 
from  the  well,  her  house  was  burnt  beyond  all  help. 

When  the  Witch,  whose  name  was  Ignorance,  saw  the 
harm  she  had  done,  she  laughed  a  cruel  laugh  and  hobbled 
down  the  road. 

Poor  little  Fairy  Health  sank  upon  the  grass  in  her  garden 
and  cried.  At  last  she  was  conscious  of  a  voice  and  looking 
up,  saw  in  a  green  bush  quite  near  a  lovely  Bird,  who  said: 


"Keep  up  your  courage,  Fairy,  for  I  will  tell  you  how  to 
build  your  house  anew." 

Health  dried  her  eyes  upon  a  sweet  geranium  leaf,  and 
asked  him  how  that  could  possibly  be  done. 

The  Bird  replied:  "It  can  be  done  by  the  hands  of  Chil- 
dren alone.  Every  time  a  Child  learns  to  eat  the  right  food 
a  brick  shall  be  added  to  your  house,  every  time  a  Child 
learns  to  sleep  in  the  sweet  fresh  air,  a  shingle  shall  be  put 
upon  the  roof.  And  every  time  a  Child  learns  to  play  and 
be  happy,  a  colored  glass  shall  be  added  to  the  windows/' 

"But  alas!"  said  Fairy  Health,  "How  shall  we  teach  the 
Children  these  things?" 

"I  will  go  to  the  Teachers  who  are  wise  and  good,"  said 
the  Bird,  "and  tell  them  what  to  do." 

So  the  Bird,  whose  name  was  Education,  started  on  his 
journey.  He  took  his  brother  Rumor  with  him  to  help  tell 
the  Teachers,  because  there  were  a  great  many  Teachers  to 
be  told  about  the  Children's  health. 

Far  and  near  these  wise  birds  traveled,  to  little  towns 
and  to  big  cities,  and  everywhere  the  Teachers  listened  to 
their  story,  until  in  all  that  great  country,  the  Children  were 
taught  to  eat  wholesome  food,  to  sleep  in  the  sweet  fresh  air, 
and  to  play  and  be  happy. 

And  as  the  Children  grew  healthy  and  happy,  the  bricks 
were  added  to  the  Fairy's  house,  and  shingles  were  put 
upon  the  .roof.  Lovely  colored  glass  filled  up  the  broken 

6 


windows,  and  once  again  there  stood  among  the  trees  and 
flowers  a  house  so  beautiful  that  strangers,  passing  by, 
paused  to  admire  it.  Health  often  invited  them  to  rest  in 
her  garden,  and  as  she  refreshed  them  with  sparkling  water 
from  the  well,  she  told  the  story  of  her  house,  and  how 
Children  had  rebuilt  it  for  her. 


O  power/if/ 


The  Magic  Oat  Field 

ONE  day  as  the  Fairy  Health  sat  within  iher  Rose 
Arbor,  there  came  walking  down  the  road  a  tiny 
Elf.     He  had  a  merry  face  and  a  bright  smile,  and 
pausing  beside  the  Garden  Gate,  he  asked: 

"Does  Health  live  here?" 

"I  am  Health,"  said  the  Fairy,  and  rose  to  greet  him. 
The  Elf  drew  from  his  pocket  a  little  card,  on  which  was 
written  "Cho-Cho,  the  Friend  of  Children,"  and  presented 
it  to  the  Fairy. 

"I  come,"  he  said,  "to  view  the  wonders  of  your  Garden, 
and  to  learn  from  you  the  secrets  of  a  Child's  Heart." 

The  good  Fairy  took  Cho-Cho's  hand  and  leading  him  by 
many  lovely  paths,  came  at  length  into  a  Field  of  ripening 
Oats.  On  the  borders  of  the  Field  grew  flowers  of  many 
colors,  and  the  air  was  filled  with  perfume. 

Health  paused  and  said:  "As  long  as  these  beautiful 
Oats  flourish  I  know  that  everywhere  in  all  this  great  coun- 
try Children  can  eat  Oatmeal  for  their  breakfast  and  grow 
strong  and  healthy,  but  if  the  Oats  should  wither  and  die, 
something  dreadful  would  happen  to  the  Children." 

Even  as  she  spoke,  a  strange  light  settled  on  the  Oat 
Field,  and  the  beautiful  waving  grain  began  to  shrivel  and 
wither  away. 


A  look  of  terror  came  into  the  Fairy's  eyes.  As  Cho-Cho 
turned  to  clasp  her  hand  in  sympathy,  suddenly  there  stood 
beside  him  a  handsome  Persian  Cat. 

"Don't  lose  heart, \ little  Fairy,"  said  Puss,  "I  will  help 
you.  Last  night,  as  I  was  walking  in  the  moonlight,  I  saw 
an  ugly  old  Witch  creep  into  your  garden. 

"In  her  hand  she  carried  a  large  strong  box.  I  hid  behind 
a  bush  and  saw  her  open  the  box.  As  she  raised  the  lid,  out 
sprang  swarms  of  tiny  insects  and  flew  toward  the  Oat 
Field.  The  Witch  laughed  a  harsh  laugh,  and  said,  'Go, 
little  imps — work  quickly,  for  your  time  is  short/ 

"I  understand  magic,  Fairy,  and  can  change  at  will  into 
any  shape  that  pleases  me — so  in  the  twinkling  of  an  eye  I 
became  a  Witch  too,  and  walking  slowly  forward,  I  said, 
'A  fine  night,  Madam  Witch.  What  do  you  here?' 

"The  old  Witch  jumped  when  she  heard  my  voice,  but 
seeing  it  was  only  a  Witch  like  herself,  she  grinned  horribly 
and  said:  'I  have  persuaded  hundreds  of  children  to  stop 
eating  Oatmeal  and  every  time  a  Child  refuses  Oatmeal, 
one  of  these  little  imps  is  born.  Before  tomorrow  night  the 
Fairy's  Oat  Field  will  be  withered  and  dead.  One  thing 
only  can  stop  these  imps  of  mine, '  she  chuckled. 

"'What  is  that,  O  powerful  Witch?'  I  asked. 

"'I  must  be  bound  fast  with  chains  of  steel.  If  such  a 
thing  could  happen  my  imps  would  quickly  die  and  the 
Children  would  eat  Oatmeal  again  and  the  Field  regain  its 
beauty,  but  ha!  ha!  no  one  can  bind  me.' 

10 


'You  must  be  very  clever,  Madam  Witch/  I  said,  'But 
it  grows  late  and  I  must  away.' 

"So  I  left  her  there  and  went  to  my  home." 

"What  shall  I  do?"  the  little  Fairy  cried.  "What  shall 
I  do?" 

"Be  not  discouraged,  Fairy,"  said  the  Persian  Cat,  "I 
am  your  friend,  follow  me." 

Down  the  road  the  cat  led  them  for  fully  half  a  mile, 
until  they  came  to  a  forest  of  fir  trees.  Quiet  reigned  with- 
in the  wood.  It  was  so  very  still  that  even  their  soft  foot- 
steps on  the  pine  needles  could  be  heard.  There  was  no 
light  except  from  far  above  their  heads,  where  the  blue  sky 
shone  through  the  green  branches  of  the  trees. 

Puss  went  on  and  on,  until  Cho-Cho  and  the  Fairy  were 
growing  quite  tired.  At  last  he  stopped  before  a  huge  tree 
whose  branches  touched  the  ground.  Parting  these,  the  Cat 
entered,  and  followed  by  his  two  friends,  stood  beside  the 
Tree. 

"Wonderful,  Wonderful,  Wonderful  Tree, 
Open,  Oh  open  your  door  unto  me!" 

Slowly  the  trunk  of  the  great  Tree  opened  and  they  beheld 
a  narrow  stairway  leading  down,  down,  farther  than  their 
eyes  could  see. 

"Come,"  said  the  Cat,  "the  Witch  lives  here.  Step 
lightly  or  we  may  rouse  her." 

ii 


Softly,  very  softly,  they  crept  down  those  narrow  steps, 
until  at  last  they  entered  a  dark  room.  Its  only  light  came 
from  a  fire  of  coals,  and  before  this  fire  the  Witch  lay  sleep- 
ing. Springing  upon  her,  Puss  bound  her  arms  and  feet  with 
chains  of  steel,  and  she  lay  helpless  before  them,  uttering 
cries  of  hate  and  wickedness. 

"Wonderful  Cat,  who  are  you?"  said  Cho-Cho. 

"I  am  Knowledge,"  said  the  Cat,  "and  this  cruel  Witch 
is  Ignorance,  who  spends  her  life  plotting  against  the  health 
of  Children.  Between  us  there  is  always  war.  Lie  there, 
Ignorance,  while  the  Children  you  wish  to  kill  grow  strong 
and  healthy.  Fairy,  your  Oat  Field  is  beautiful  again." 

Leaving  the  dark  home  of  Ignorance,  they  traveled 
through  the  sweet  scented  forest,  back  to  the  garden  of  the 
Fairy  Health.  There  they  found  that  the  Cat  had  told  them 
true,  for  the  Oat  Field  was  beautiful  beyond  words.  The 
blue  sky  smiled  above,  and  the  summer  wind  blew  over  it, 
carrying  the  perfume  of  a  thousand  flowers,  and  all  the 
world  seemed  full  of  peace. 

"Cat,  dear  Cat,  what  can  we  do  for  you?"  said  Cho-Cho. 
"Only  this,"  said  Puss,  "help  me  to  fight  Ignorance." 

From  his  finger  the  Cat  took  two  tiny  rings.  One  he 
gave  to  Cho-Cho  and  one  to  the  Fairy. 

"If  ever  again  this  cruel  Witch  arises  to  destroy  the 
Children's  Oatmeal,  turn  this  ring  upon  your  finger  twice 
and  say: 

12 


"  Knowledge,  Knowledge, 
Wherever  you  be, 
Come,  Oh,  come, 
The  Children  need  Thee!" 

And  as  he  said  this,  Puss  waved  a  gay  "Good-bye"  and 
walked   gracefully   away. 


The  Wonderful  Window 

CHO-CHO,  a  tiny  Elf,  built  his  house  upon  the  roof 
of  a  tall  office  building  in  a  great  city.    He  chose  a 
sunny  corner  of  the  chimney,  and  there  with  sticks 
and  strings,  brought  to  him  by  his  friends,  the  Sparrows,  he 
erected  a  cozy  little  Home. 

On  the  outside,  it  was  quite  pretty,  but  after  you  entered 
the  door  and  saw  the  fire  on  the  hearth,  and  Cho-Cho's  arm- 
chair and  books  beside  it,  you  decided  that  it  was  the  most 
charming  little  house  in  all  that  noisy  city. 

Now  within  this  house  was  a  Magic  Window,  and  from 
this  window  Cho-Cho  could  look  into  all  the  homes  where 
Children  lived. 

Sitting  beside  the  Magic  Window  one  day,  Cho-Cho 
beheld  a  sight  that  filled  his  heart  with  pity.  In  a  dingy 
room  he  saw  a  thin,  pale  little  Boy,  sitting  beside  a  rough 
table,  on  which  the  only  food  was  some  cheap  buns  and 
coffee.  As  Cho-Cho  looked,  he  saw  the  Child  try  to  raise 
the  heavy  cup  to  his  lips,  but  his  little  hands  were  far  too 
weak,  and  it  fell  with  a  crash  upon  the  floor,  breaking  into 
many  pieces,  and  spilling  the  coffee.  Now  this  Child  loved 
coffee,  because  all  his  life  he  had  been  used  to  drinking  it. 
As  he  saw  the  coffee  wasted  on  the  floor,  he  laid  his  head 
upon  the  table  and  cried  and  cried  and  cried.  Presently  he 
fell  asleep. 

As  he  slept,  Cho-Cho  stood  beside  him  and  taking  his 

15 


hand,  led  him  far,  far  away  from  the  great  city  and  all  its 
noise  and  danger.  When  the  little  Boy  woke,  he  was  walk- 
ing down  a  quiet  country  road  and  Cho-Cho  was  with  him. 
Wild  grass  and  violets  grew  along  this  road,  and  far  away 
on  either  side  stretched  fields  of  lovely  clover,  whose  pink 
blossoms  swayed  in  the  wind. 

Passing  through  a  gateway,  they  entered  the  field.  And 
now  they  saw  an  old  farm  house  surrounded  by  trees.  In 
the  door  stood  a  Sweet-faced  Woman,  who  looked  at  them 
with  kindly  interest. 

"Lady,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "this  little  Boy  has  no  Mother. 
Will  you  give  him  a  glass  of  your  good  milk?  He  is  very 
faint." 

Then  a  strange  thing  happened.  Cho-Cho  vanished. 
He  had  been  standing  right  beside  the  little  Boy  and  then 
suddenly  he  was  gone. 

The  little  Boy  began  to  cry,  and  the  Farmer's  Wife,  whose 
heart  was  full  of  love  for  children,  and  who  had  none  of 
her  own,  gathered  him  up  in  her  strong  arms,  and  carried 
him  into  the  large  kitchen. 

Here  she  gave  him  fresh  Brown  Bread  to  eat  and  Milk 
that  was  sweet  and  cool,  and  he  ate  and  ate,  until  he  could 
eat  no  more. 

As  the  days  went  by,  the  good  Woman  learned  to  love  the 
little  Boy  as  if  he  were  her  own,  and  he  grew  so  strong  and 
healthy  that  no  one  would  have  imagined  him  the  same 

16 


lonely  Child  that  Cho-Cho  had  brought  to  the  Farm  House. 
All  day  long  he  played  in  the  sweet  clover-scented  air,  some- 
times with  the  little  calves  in  the  field,  but  more  often  beside 
the  Dairy,  where  the  Sweet-faced  Woman  spent  so  much  of 
her  time. 

The  Dairy  was  built  of  stone,  and  the  walls  were  thick 
and  deep.  A  little  stream  ran  through  it,  and  in  a  stone 
trough  stood  great  crocks  of  Milk,  Milk  to  make  Children 
strong  and  healthy,  for  nothing  in  all  the  world  is  so  good 
for  Children  as  Milk.  The  stream  sang  among  the  Milk 
crocks,  and  the  little  Boy  played  beside  the  Dairy,  and  the 
good  Woman  smiled  and  was  happy. 

Then,  one  day  while  the  little  Boy  was  playing  in  the 
clover  field,  down  the  road  came  an  old  Witch.  She  smiled 
at  the  Child,  and  spoke  pleasantly  to  him,  but  in  her  heart 
was  hate  and  ugliness. 

"  Come  walk  with  me,  my  dear/*  she  said,  "and  I  will  give 
you  coffee  to  drink." 

The  Farmer's  Wife  had  often  told  the  little  Boy  never  to 
drink  coffee  for  it  was  very  bad  for  Children,  but  he  liked 
coffee,  so  he  took  the  old  Witch's  hand  and  followed  her  far, 
far  away. 

As  the  sunlight  faded  from  the  fields,  and  night  came 
on,  the  Sweet-faced  Woman  missed  the  little  Boy,  and  anx- 
iously looked  for  him,  but  nowhere  could  he  be  found. 

Now  Cho-Cho  from  his  Magic  Window  in  the  great  city 


had  never  ceased  to  look  each  day  toward  the  country  and 
the  Farm  where  the  Boy  lived,  and  as  he  saw  the  Child 
grow  strong  and  healthy,  he  smiled  with  pleasure,  for  Cho- 
Cho  was  the  Friend  of  Children. 

But  today  as  he  looked,  to  his  great  surprise,  he  saw  the 
Sweet-faced  Woman  sobbing  on  her  doorstep,  and  he  knew 
that  something  must  be  wrong.  After  putting  out  the 
living-room  fire  and  locking  the  door  of  his  house,  Cho-Cho 
started  at  once  for  the  Farm.  The  Woman  still  sat  on  her 
doorstep,  sad  with  weeping. 

"Lady,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "tell  me  your  trouble." 
Then  she  told  him  that  the  little  Boy  was  lost. 

"I  will  find  him,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "for  I  have  in  my  pocket 
a  Magic  Magnet,  and  when  I  hold  it  in  my  right  hand,  it 
will  draw  me  toward  anyone  whom  I  wish  to  seek.  Have 
courage.  I  will  bring  back  your  little  Boy." 

As  he  spoke,  Cho-Cho  drew  out  the  Magic  Magnet  and 
held  it  in  his  right  hand.  Slowly  the  Magnet  turned  toward 
the  sunny  road,  and  Cho-Cho  walked  on. 

The  path  was  very  rough  and  full  of  sharp  stones,  and 
ended  at  last  in  front  of  an  enormous  rock.  In  this  rock 
was  an  iron  door,  so  stout  and  heavy  that  it  could  not  be 
opened,  unless  one  had  the  key,  and  Cho-Cho  had  no  key. 

As  Cho-Cho  rested  for  a  bit,  feeling  rather  discouraged, 
he  heard  a  voice  and  there  sat  a  Red  Brown  Squirrel. 

18 


"What  is  wrong,  Friend?"  said  the  Squirrel. 

"A  little  boy  is  lost,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "and  I  know  that 
he  is  behind  this  wall,  but  I  cannot  open  the  door." 

"I  can  help  you,"  said  the  Squirrel.  Stooping,  he  picked 
up  a  small  stone,  and  began  to  rub  it  between  his  paws.  As 
he  rubbed,  the  stone  turned  to  iron  and  quickly  into  a  key 
that  fitted  the  lock  on  the  huge  door. 

' '  I  thank  you, ' '  said  Cho-Cho.    ' '  What  is  your  name ? ' ' 

"I  am  Friendship,"  said  the  Squirrel,  "and  I  will  go  with 
you  on  your  j  ourney . ' ' 

Through  the  great  door  they  went,  and  on  again  up  the 
mountain,  coming  at  last  to  the  top,  and  there  on  the  ground 
lay  the  little  Boy.  His  clothes  were  soiled,  and  torn  in  many 
places,  for  the  Witch  had  dragged  him  up  the  mountainside 
by  one  small  arm,  and  the  rough  stones  and  briars  had 
caught  his  garments  as  she  hurried  him  onward.  He  was 
asleep  where  the  Witch  had  thrown  him.  Cho-Cho's  heart 
filled  with  pity  when  he  saw  the  little  figure  lying  there. 
Bending  over,  Cho-Cho  gently  touched  the  tear-stained  face 
and  the  little  Boy  awoke. 

"Where  is  the  Witch?"  Cho-Cho  asked.  The  little  Boy 
caught  his  hand  in  a  frightened  grasp.  He  was  so  afraid 
that  he  could  scarcely  speak. 

"Cho-Cho,  take  me  home,"  he  sobbed,  "take  me  home, 
before  the  Witch  comes  back." 

19 


"She  shall  not  hurt  you/'  Cho-Cho  answered.  "But 
where  did  she  go?" 

Before  the  Child  could  speak,  a  harsh  laugh  sounded  in 
their  ears,  a  heavy  stone  whistled  through  the  air,  and  fell 
beside  Cho-Cho,  barely  missing  his  head,  then  all  was  very 
still. 

"Stay  with  the  Boy,"  Cho-Cho  told  the  friendly  Squirrel, 
"this  Witch  shall  be  punished." 

The  Magnet  in  his  hand  pointed  directly  toward  a  large 
rock.  Its  steep  sides  were  very  sharp  and  rough,  and  looking 
up  Cho-Cho  saw  the  ugly  Witch  standing  on  the  top. 

"So  I  am  to  be  punished,  am  I?"  she  screamed,  her  face 
distorted  by  rage,  "I  will  show  you  who  has  power  here," 
and  she  hurled  a  sharp  stone  at  Cho-Cho.  Springing  aside, 
Cho-Cho  drew  an  arrow  from  its  quiver  and  a  stout  bow 
from  his  back,  and  carefully  aiming,  he  pulled  the  bow 
string.  The  arrow  sped  through  the  air,  and  struck  the 
Witch  with  such  force  that  she  fell  forward,  and  losing  her 
balance  rolled  over  and  over  down  the  side  of  the  great  rock. 
When  Cho-Cho  reached  the  place  where  she  lay  unconscious, 
one  arm  hung  limp  at  her  side,  broken  by  the  fall.  Her  feet 
were  scarred  by  heavy  chains  that  had  once  bound  her,  and 
looking  on  her  cruel  face  Cho-Cho  said,  "She  has  been  pun- 
ished enough." 

Then  taking  the  little  Boy's  hand,  Cho-Cho  started  back 
to  the  Farm  House.  The  Sweet-faced  Woman  met  them  on 

20 


the  road  and  when  she  saw  the  little  Boy,  her  face  lit  up  with 
happiness  and  love. 

"What  can  I  do  for  you,  Cho-Cho?"  she  asked. 

"Help  little  Children,"  Cho-Cho  answered,  and  looking  at 
his  wrist  watch,  he  saw  it  was  quite  late  and  remembering  a 
business  engagement  in  the  city,  he  hurried  away.

The  Little  Vegetable  Men 

ONE   sunny   summer   day,    the    little    Fairy   Health 
worked  among   her  flowers,   weeding   and  digging 
the  rich  brown  earth  to  make  them  beautiful.     She 
sang,  as  she  worked,  a  gay  little  song,  and  tripped  lightly 
here  and  there  over  the  grass  and  flower  beds.    Stopping  at 
last  to  wipe  the  earth  from  her  hands  upon  a  large  lily 
leaf,  for  it  made  a  most  convenient  towel,  she  looked  up 
and  saw  Cho-Cho  coming  down  the  road  and  ran  to  the 
gate  to  greet  him. 

Now  Cho-Cho  was  a  tiny  Elf  who  loved  Children,  and 
he  was  one  of  the  Fairy's  oldest  friends. 

" Fairy,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "in  looking  from  my  Magic 
Window  last  evening  I  saw  the  old  Witch  Ignorance  abroad. 
Up  and  down  the  city  streets  she  went  and  into  all  the  homes 
where  Children  live,  and  on  the  door  of  every  house  she 
made  a  black  mark." 

"Oh,  Cho-Cho,"  said  the  Fairy,  "this  means  trouble  for 
the  Children." 

"Yes,"  said  Cho-Cho. 

Leading  him  to  a  seat  within  her  Rose  Arbor,  the  Fairy 
brought  him  sparkling  water  from  her  well  and  bade  him 
rest  until  he  felt  refreshed. 

As  she  spoke,  through  the  garden  gate  came  three  queer- 
looking  little  Men.  The  first  had  the  head  of  a  Beet,  and 

23 


his  clothes  were  made  from  dull  green  leaves.  His  shoes  and 
stockings  were  beet-colored  and  in  his  hand  he  carried 
a  green  hat. 

The  second  little  Man  was  a  white  Onion,  and  his  clothes 
were  the  green  of  onion  tops ;  and  the  third  little  fellow  had 
the  face  of  a  Carrot,  and  he,  too,  was  all  in  green. 

"Fairy,"  said  the  little  Man  who  looked  like  a  Beet,  "we 
are  in  great  trouble  and  have  come  to  ask  your  help.  We 
are  called  the  Green  Vegetables  and  are  a  large  and  happy 
family.  Last  night  while  we  s1ept,  the  wicked  Witch  Igno- 
rance crept  in  among  us  and  carried  off  one  of  our  little  Men. 
We  did  not  know  that  he  was  gone  until  we  were  awakened 
by  his  cries,  and  when  we  rushed  to  help  him,  this  cruel 
Witch  beat  us  to  the  ground  and  sped  far  away. 

"This  morning,  I  found  upon  my  doorstep  a  letter.  It 
was  from  the  Witch  and  said  that  unless  we  gave  her  gold 
she  would  return  each  night  and  carry  away  one  of  our 
comrades.  Help  us,  Fairy,  for  this  Witch  is  very  powerful." 

"Courage,  little  Man,"  said  the  Fairy,  "Cho-Cho  and 
I  will  help  you."  "Fairy,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "I  must  find  this 
cruel  Witch,  for  if  she  hurts  these  little  Men,  the  Children 
will  have  no  Vegetables  to  eat,  and  Children  must  eat  Vege- 
tables. This  is  what  the  black  mark  meant  upon  the  doors, ' ' 
and  turning,  Cho-Cho  walked  rapidly  away. 

Now  Cho-Cho  had  a  friend,  a  Wonderful  Dog,  who 
could  travel  like  the  wind,  and  he  hurried  down  the  road 
toward  the  Dog's  house. 

24 


Finding  the  Dog  at  home,  Cho-Cho  told  him  of  the 
little  Men,  and  added;  "I  must  find  this  Witch  before  night- 
fall, and  it  is  now  noon.  I  cannot  travel  fast  enough,  for  she 
lives  far  away.  Will  you  take  me  on  your  back? " 

"With  pleasure/'  said  the  Dog,  "but  I  do  not  know  the 
way.'*  Leaning  forward,  Cho-Cho  slowly  passed  his  hands 
before  the  Dog's  eyes.  Immediately  sight  was  given  to  the 
Dog  and  he  could  see  far  off  in  the  distance  the  Witch's 
house  and  the  road  that  led  to  it. 

"Hurry,"  said  Cho-Cho,  seating  himself  upon  the  Dog's 
back,  "it  grows  late." 

The  great  Dog  started  forward  and  at  each  step  his  pace 
quickened  until  his  feet  scarcely  seemed  to  touch  the 
ground.  Faster,  faster  and  faster  he  went  and  the  wind 
whistled  through  his  long  hair,  and  his  beautiful  tail  waved 
like  a  plume.  Trees  and  houses  flew  by  them  as  they  rushed 
on,  and  the  Dog  laughed  with  glee. 

Cho-Cho,  clinging  on  with  hands  and  feet,  saw  ahead 
of  them  a  high  stone  fence.  The  Dog  went  over  it  in  a  flying 
leap  and  landed  safely  on  the  other  side  in  a  field  of  grass. 
Here  he  began  to  slacken  his  pace,  for  in  front  of  them 
loomed  a  dark  forest,  and  only  a  narrow  pathway  led 
through  it. 

Entering  the  forest  the  Dog  was  obliged  to  walk,  as  the 
path  grew  rough  and  steep  and  the  underbrush  on  either 
side  was  thick  and  tangled.  At  last  they  came  to  the  mouth 
of  a  cave. 

25 


"This  is  the  home  of  the  Witch,"  said  Cho-Cho.  "We 
will  hide  here  in  the  bushes." 

Presently  they  heard  a  harsh  laugh  and  the  ugly  Witch 
came  forth  from  the  shadow  of  the  cave.  She  paused  a 
moment,  dazzled  by  the  sunlight,  and  Cho-Cho  could  see 
clearly  the  deep  scars  on  her  bare  ankles,  made  by  chains 
that  had  once  bound  her,  and  her  left  arm  hung  in  a  sling. 

Drawing  from  his  pocket  a  bright  crystal  ball,  he  flashed 
it  directly  in  the  Witch's  eyes. 

She  stood  spellbound  for  several  minutes  holding  one 
hand  to  her  head,  then  her  body  slowly  relaxed  and  she 
slipped  down  upon  the  pathway. 

Cho-Cho  stepped  forth  from  his  hiding  place  among  the 
bushes,  and  stood  beside  the  Witch. 

She  lay  quite  still  as  though  asleep.  "Lie  there  for  two 
and  twenty  hours,"  Cho-Cho  said,  "and  when  you  awaken 
your  sight  shall  be  so  dimmed  that  never  again  shall  you  see 
clearly — never  again  shall  you  molest  the  Green  Vege- 
tables." 

Then  they  went  forward  into  the  cave  to  find  the  little 
Vegetable  Man.  He  lay  upon  the  ground,  bound  hand  and 
foot,  trembling  with  fear. 

"Courage,  little  Man,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "we  are  your 
friends  and  have  come  to  take  you  home,"  and  cutting  his 
bonds,  they  led  him  forth  from  the  cave. 

"Who  are  you,  Friends?"  said  the  little  Man. 

26 


"I  am  Cho-Cho,  the  Friend  of  the  Children,  and  this  Dog 
is  called  Publicity,"  said  Cho-Cho.  "  We  work  together  for 
the  Health  of  the  Children." 

Then  mounting  the  Dog's  broad  back,  they  started  on 
their  homeward  journey. 

That  night  from  his  Magic  Window,  Cho-Cho  beheld  a 
strange  sight,  for  in  the  fields  and  gardens  the  little  Vege- 
table Men  were  dancing  in  the  Moonlight,  and  as  they 
danced,  they  sang  with  joy,  for  the  old  Witch  Ignorance  lay 
helpless  in  the  Forest  and  they  were  safe  from  harm.

The   Lovely  Bird 


ONE  summer  day  when  the  city  streets  were  full  of 
heat  and  dust,  and  all  the  world  seemed  tired,  Cho- 
Cho 's  thoughts  turned  longingly  to  the  country  and 
to  the  lovely  Garden  of  the  little  Fairy  Health. 

Packing  his  bag  and  locking  the  door  of  his  house,  Cho- 
Cho  started  on  a  visit  to  the  Fairy. 

Within  the  Fairy's  Garden,  screened  from  the  road  by 
trees  and  bushes,  was  a  lovely  dell,  and  in  the  center  of  the 
dell  a  Fountain,  so  beautiful  that  all  who  saw  it  paused  to 
admire  its  sparkling  waters  and  the  beauty  of  its  sculptured 
figure.  This  figure  was  of  white  marble,  carved  with  rare 
skill  into  the  form  of  a  little  child,  and  from  its  uplifted 
hand  the  waters  of  the  fountain  sprang. 

Cho-Cho  found  the  Fairy  resting  in  the  cool  shade  and 
sank  into  a  seat  beside  her. 

"Fairy,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "I  am  grieved  about  my  Chil- 
dren." 

"What  is  wrong,  Cho-Cho?"  said  the  little  Fairy. 

"There  are  two  Imps,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "going  into  all  the 
houses  where  children  live.  One  is  called  Dirt,  and  he 
leaves  upon  the  Children's  hands  and  faces  and  in  their  hair 
and  on  their  clothes  ugly  black  marks.  The  other  Imp  is 
called  Neglect,  and  he  whispers  to  the  Children  not  to  clean 
their  teeth,  or  brush  their  hair,  or  bathe  their  bodies.  I  saw 
these  Imps  from  my  Magic  Window,  Fairy,  and  I  came  to 
ask  your  help.  What  shall  we  do?" 

29 


"I  have  a  strong  friend,"  said  the  Fairy,  "a  Lovely  Bird, 
called  Education,  and  he  will  go  to  the  Teachers,  and  they 
will  teach  the  Children  how  to  be  cleanly,  and  to  love  the 
cool  pure  water." 

As  she  spoke,  they  heard  a  noise  of  wings,  and  the  Lovely 
Bird  fluttered  to  the  ground.  Then  the  Fairy  told  him  of 
their  trouble. 

11  Courage,"  said  the  Bird,  "I  will  go  to  the  Teachers,  but 
my  way  will  be  full  of  peril,  for  these  Imps  are  powerful  and 
they  will  try  to  hold  me  back.  Each  day  you  must  watch 
within  this  dell.  If  I  am  hurt,  you  will  find  beside  the 
fountain  a  Blue-Gray  Feather.  Then,  Cho-Cho,  you  must 
hasten  to  my  aid." 

As  he  said  this,  the  Lovely  Bird  rose  in  the  air,  and 
mounted  higher  and  higher,  until  he  was  lost  to  their  view. 
Day  after  day  Cho-Cho  and  the  Fairy  sat  beside  the  foun- 
tain watching  for  the  Feather,  and  after  many  days  had 
passed,  they  began  to  hope  that  Education  had  safely 
reached  the  Teachers. 

Then  one  day,  slowly  circling  downward  from  the  sky, 
came  a  Blue-Gray  Feather,  and  rested  at  their  feet. 

"Oh,  Cho-Cho,"  said  the  Fairy,  "the  Lovely  Bird  is 
hurt,"  and  laying  her  head  upon  the  fountain's  edge,  she 
sobbed  with  grief  and  disappointment. 

"Courage,"  said  Cho-Cho,  "I  have  a  noble  ally  a  Won- 
derful Dog,  who  can  travel  like  the  wind.  His  name  is 
Publicity,  and  he  will  help  Education.  His  home  is  not  far 
distant.  Be  brave.  The  Lovely  Bird  shall  soon  be  free." 

Then  Cho-Cho  hastened  to  the  home  of  the  Dog.  Arriv- 
ing there,  he  rapped  smartly  on  the  door,  which  was  opened 

30 


by  the  Dog's  wife,  who  said  he  was  just  finishing  his  break- 
fast— -that  he  would  be  out  immediately. 

In  a  few  minutes  the  Dog  appeared.  Then  Cho-Cho  told 
him  of  the  Lovely  Bird. 

"I  shall  be  glad  to  help,"  said  the  Wonderful  Dog,  "but 
how  shall  I  find  the  way?" 

Taking  from  his  pocket  the  Blue-Gray  Feather,  Cho-Cho 
held  it  before  the  Dog's  nose.  He  sniffed  it  eagerly  and 
then  throwing  up  his  head,  laughed  with  glee.  "Get  up 
quickly,  Cho-Cho,"  he  said,  and  Cho-Cho  sprang  upon 
his  back. 

The  great  Dog  bounded  through  the  door  and  out  into 
the  road,  and  with  a  sharp  bark  was  off  like  wind. 

The  Children  scurried  from  the  roadside,  and  people 
standing  in  their  doorways  gazed  with  wonder,  as  the  Dog 
rushed  by.  Through  villages  and  towns  he  went  and  every- 
where the  people  ran  out  to  see  Publicity  pass. 

They  left  the  houses  far  behind  and  still  the  great  Dog 
did  not  slacken  his  pace,  until  they  came  to  desolate  fields 
and  a  countryside  where  no  trees  grew. 

On  all  sides  stretched  these  lonely  fields,  with  no  signs 
of  life  except  where  far  away  to  the  right  rose  the  dark 
outline  of  a  house.  A  rough  path  led  toward.it,  and  fol- 
lowing this  road  the  Dog  went  forward.  As  they  drew 
nearer  they  could  see  the  house  was  of  stone,  and  had  no 
windows  on  the  lower  floor.  Up  near  the  roof  were  narrow 
windows  set  deep  in  the  wall.  Only  a  great  door  in  the  front, 
made  of  iron,  gave  entrance  to  the  house  and  this  was  tightly 
locked. 

31 


Sitting  on  the  ground  the  Dog  took  from  his  neck  a 
stout  collar  made  of  heavy  leather  and  brass,  and  opening 
a  pocket  on  the  inside  of  this  collar,  he  took  out  a  Golden 
Key. 

This  key  fitted  the  lock,  and  entering  a  large  room  they 
found  the  Imps  asleep  before  a  fire.  As  the  great  door 
creaked  upon  its  rusty  hinges  the  Imps  awakened  and 
sprang  to  their  feet. 

"What  have  you  done  with  the  Lovely  Bird?"  Cho-Cho 
demanded.  "I  have  seen  no  bird,"  said  the  Imp  called  Dirt. 
"You  may  search  this  house  from  dark  cellar  to  dusty 
garret  if  you  doubt  my  word." 

Cho-Cho  turned  to  his  friend  the  Dog.  "Watch  here," 
he  said,  "and  see  to  it  that  these  Imps  do  not  escape."  Then 
holding  his  Magic  Magnet  in  his  hand  he  looked  about  the 
room.  The  Magnet  turned  toward  the  door  at  the  far  cor- 
ner, and  Cho-Cho  following  the  Magnet  entered  a  dark  and 
narrow  passage,  that  seemed  to  lead  on  and  on.  He  could 
not  see,  but  Cho-Cho's  stout  heart  knew  no  fear  for  he 
possessed  magic  power,  that  protected  him  from  all  evil— 
so  he  called  to  his  friend  the  Moon  and  asked  for  help. 
Mr.  Moon  had  not  yet  risen,  but  he  sent  for  his  chief  Clerk 
and  gave  an  order,  "Send  down  to  my  friend  Cho-Cho  one 
of  our  latest  flashlights,"  he  said,  "one  of  Golden  Light, 
that  will  turn  the  darkest  dungeon  into  the  light  of  day." 

So  in  the  shortest  possible  time  Cho-Cho  held  in  his 
hand  a  powerful  flashlight  that  showed  him  every  corner 
of  the  dark  passage,  but  no  matter  how  carefully  he  looked 
he  could  find  no  trace  of  the  Lovely  Bird. 

32 


Standing  there  thinking,  he  heard  a  faint  sound  that 
seemed  to  come  from  within  the  wall,  and  looking  at  his 
Magnet  found  that  it  pointed  directly  opposite. 

With  his  ear  at  the  wall  he  heard  the  sound  clearer — then 
suddenly  his  eye  caught  the  glint  of  steel,  and  he  saw  a  small 
bright  spot  about  the  size  of  a  pea.  Cho-Cho  pressed  the 
spot  and  the  wall  opened  showing  a  tiny  room.  The  Lovely 
Bird  lay  on  the  floor,  too  weak  to  fly — so  Cho-Cho  carried 
him  forth  and  helped  him  on  the  Dog's  back. 

The  wicked  Imps  knew  that  their  punishment  was  near 
and  cowered  in  the  corner. 

Then  Cho-Cho  bound  the  two  Imps  with  strong  cords. 
Standing  them  back  to  back  he  tied  their  arms  together 
and  also  their  legs,  so  that  they  could  go  neither  forward 
nor  backward,  and  mounting  the  back  of  his  friend  the 
Wonderful  Dog,  he  started  homeward. 

They  could  hear  the  cries  of  the  Imps  far  down  the  road- 
way, for  each  one  blamed  the  other  with  ugly  words  for 
what  had  happened. 

When  Education  felt  stronger  he  flew  forward  with  his 
Message  to  the  Teachers. 

And  everywhere  the  Teachers  received  him  with  the 
deepest  interest,  and  now  all  over  this  great  country  Chil- 
dren are  being  taught  the  beauty  of  cleanliness  and  the 
love  of  fresh  air  and  pure  water. 

As  the  Children  learn  these  wholesome  health  habits,  they 
in  turn  teach  others,  and  in  every  home  tooth  brushes  and 
soap  and  pure  water  are  to  be  found,  and  busy  mothers  go 
about  their  work  with  cheerful  faces,  for  their  Children 
are  healthy  and  clean  and  happy.

The   Fairy's   Party 


NEIGHBORS  passing  the  house  of  the  little  Fairy 
Health,  one  lovely  summer  day,  noticed  a  most  un- 
usual stir  and  bustle.     Large  and  small  packages 
were  continually  arriving  and  the  neat  little  housemaid  was 
kept  quite  busy  opening  and  closing  the  door  to  receive 
them. 

The  Fairy,  flitting  here  and  there  among  the  flower  beds, 
was  accosted  by  one  curious  neighbor  and  asked  what  it 
all  meant. 

With  her  hands  full  of  flowers  the  Fairy  paused  to  answer 
him: 

"I  am  giving  a  party  this  afternoon,"  she  said,  "to  friends 
from  a  distance,  and  we  are  all  very  busy." 

Cho-Cho,  arriving  about  this  time,  was  told  to  leave  his 
bag  in  the  house  and  hurry  back  to  help  gather  roses. 

The  curious  neighbor  departed,  and  Cho-Cho  and  the 
Fairy  worked  for  an  hour,  gathering  flowers  and  vines,  to 
make  the  beautiful  house  more  beautiful. 

At  last  it  was  all  finished,  and  the  Fairy  hurried  upstairs 
to  don  her  party  gown  before  the  guests  should  arrive. 

When  she  came  down  the  stairs  a  half  hour  later,  Cho- 
Cho,  waiting  in  the  hallway,  held  his  breath  in  admiration, 
for  the  little  Fairy  was  so  lovely  that  words  can  scarce  de- 
scribe her.  Her  gown  fell  in  graceful  lines  about  her  slender 
figure — neck  and  arms  were  bare,  and  her  flower-like  face 
crowned  with  its  shining  hair  was  radiant  with  joy.  Forget- 
me-nots  were  twined  among  her  curls,  and  she  carried  a 

35 


bunch  of  them  in  her  shapely  hands.  No  jewels  adorned  the 
Fairy,  but  in  every  way  she  expressed  simplicity  and  grace. 

Cho-Cho,  coming  forward,  dropped  lightly  on  one  knee 
and  taking  the  Fairy's  hand  raised  it  to  his  lips. 

"You  are  wonderful,"  he  said. 

"You  like  my  gown,  Cho-Cho?"  she  questioned,  and 
smiled  upon  him,  for  these  two  were  old  and  tried  friends. 

A  noise  from  without  told  of  the  advent  of  a  guest,  and 
Health  went  forward  to  greet  the  visitor. 

It  proved  to  be  the  Persian  Cat,  looking  quite  handsome 
in  a  soft-gray  hat,  which  he  gracefully  doffed  to  the  Fairy, 
and  he  carried  a  gold-headed  cane. 

One  could  well  imagine  him  a  great  favorite  with  the 
ladies,  for  he  was  indeed  a  finished  dandy. 

"You  rival  your  flowers  in  beauty,  Fairy,"  he  said,  as  he 
took  her  hand. 

At  the  noise  of  the  garden  gate  closing,  they  looked  up 
to  behold  the  Wonderful  Dog  and  his  wife  coming  toward 
them. 

The  Wonderful  Dog  had  on  a  smart  new  collar,  and  came 
forward  with  dignity  to  present  his  wife  to  the  Fairy,  for 
they  had  never  met. 

Mrs.  Dog  was  a  fluffy  little  thing,  who  seemed  really  to 
care  more  about  her  new  dress  and  the  latest  style,  than 
any  other  subject. 

The  next  arrival  was  the  little  Boy  from  the  Farm.  He 
came  timidly  toward  the  group,  looking  rather  frightened, 
but  when  he  spied  his  old  friend,  Cho-Cho,  all  his  fears 
vanished  and  he  smiled  with  pleasure. 

36 


They  were  busily  chatting  in  the  Rose  Arbor,  when  the 
little  Vegetable  Men  came  softly  in  and  stood  beside  the 
Fairy. 

She  welcomed  them  with  kindness,  for  these  were  modest 
little  people  and  felt  rather  strange  among  the  handsome 
company. 

With  a  whirr  of  wings  and  a  flash  of  color,  the  Lovely  Bird 
and  his  brother  Rumor  were  among  them  and  congratulated 
the  Fairy  on  the  perfect  weather  she  was  having  for  her 
Fete. 

The  company  were  all  assembled  now  except  the  Red 
Brown  Squirrel,  and  the  Fairy  asked  if  anyone  had  seen 
him  on  the  high-road  as  they  came  hither.  But  no  one  had 
heard  of  him,  although  the  Persian  Cat  had  come  from  that 
direction. 

An  hour  slipped  by,  the  Fairy  was  growing  anxious  and 
Cho-Cho  repeatedly  looked  at  his  watch. 

At  last  he  said: 

"With  your  permission,  Fairy,  I  will  go  look  for  the  Red 
Brown  Squirrel,  he  was  my  friend  and  I  greatly  fear  some 
evil  has  befallen  him." 

"I,  too,  will  go,"  said  the  Cat,  "there  are  many  dangers 
upon  the  high-road,  and  a  comrade  may  be  needed." 

"I  am  with  you,"  said  the  Dog.     "Lead  on,  Cho-Cho." 

"Friends,"  said  the  Persian  Cat,  "I  believe  I  can  find 
the  Red  Brown  Squirrel.  Between  his  home  and  the  Fairy's 
garden  there  lives'  an  evil  imp,  called  Jealousy.  I  passed 
him  today  as  I  journeyed  hither  and  he  scowled  upon  me 
with  a  look  of  rage.  He  was  afraid  to  attack  me,  but  the 

37 


Squirrel  is  small  and  not  a  match  for  this  cruel  imp,  and  has 
doubtless  fallen  a  victim  to  his  malice.'* 

"Hasten,  hasten,"  said  Cho-Cho,  and  passing  through  the 
gate  he  started  briskly  toward  the  Squirrel's  home. 

The  Cat  and  the  Dog  followed  and  all  three  were  soon  lost 
to  the  view  of  the  anxious  company  in  the  Fairy's  garden. 

The  friends  covered  the  ground  rapidly  and  were  near- 
ing  the  home  of  the  Red  Brown  Squirrel,  when  Cho-Cho's 
sharp  eyes  spied  a  half -eaten  nut  lying  in  the  roadway. 

There  were  no  trees  near,  and  they  knew  that  it  must  have 
been  dropped  by  their  friend. 

Looking  eagerly  upon  the  ground  they  discovered  the 
tiny  footprints  of  the  Squirrel  and  the  larger  ones  of  the 
flat-footed  imp,  leading  into  a  field  of  tall  grass. 

Here  the  Cat  went  forward,  for  his  sharp  eyes  could 
distinguish  the  footprints  with  great  ease.  Following  these 
signs  they  crossed  the  field  and  came  out  upon  an  unused 
road  that  sloped  downward,  until  they  found  themselves 
beside  a  deep  river  which  seemed  impossible  to  pass. 

"Get  upon  my  back,"  said  the  Wonderful  Dog,  "the 
River  is  my  comrade,  it  will  not  harm  you." 

With  ease  and  confidence  he  swam  forward,  and  carried 
them  to  safety  on  the  further  bank. 

Cho-Cho  and  the  Persian  Cat  stepped  from  the  Dog's 
back  and  turned  to  thank  him,  when  from  behind  a  large 
rock,  the  ugly  imp  darted  out  and  sprang  toward  Cho-Cho, 
trying  to  push  him  into  the  river.  But  the  Cat,  catching 
the  imp  by  the  neck,  held  him  firmly,  and  he  was  power- 
less to  do  aught  but  scream. 

38 


Binding  him  fast  they  went  behind  the  great  rock  and 
found  the  Red  Brown  Squirrel  in  chains. 

The  Cat  set  him  free  and  the  friendly  Squirrel  stood  up 
before  them  brave  and  unhurt. 

Then  they  hurried  back  to  the  Fairy  and  were  received 
with  relief  and  pleasure. 

And  now,  the  Fairy  with  the  Wonderful  Dog  leads  the 
way  to  the  dining-room.  The  Persian  Cat  gracefully  offers 
his  arm  to  little  Mrs.  Dog.  Cho-Cho  and  the  Boy  come 
hand  in  hand,  followed  by  the  Lovely  Bird  and  Mr.  Beet. 
The  Red  Brown  Squirrel  is  telling  the  story  of  his  adven- 
ture to  Mr.  Onion,  and  Rumor  and  Mr.  Carrot  bring  up 
the  rear. 

The  dining-room  is  a  mass  of  roses  and  smilax,  and  in 
the  center,  a  table  full  of  all  the  delicious  things  that  chil- 
dren like. 

Mrs.  Dog  remarks  that  the  decorations  are  lovely,  and 
the  Persian  Cat  replies  that  the  ladies  are  more  beautiful 
than  the  flowers. 

The  little  Fairy  flits  here  and  there  among  her  guests, 
seeing,  with  charming  courtesy,  that  all  their  wants  are  well 
supplied,  and  when  at  last  they  can  eat  no  more,  Cho-Cho 
rises,  and  with  a  glass  of  sparkling  lemonade  proposes  a 
toast : 

"To  our  charming  hostess,  the  Fairy  Health." 

With  a  right  good  will  the  company  drink  the  toast,  then 
led  by  the  Persian  Cat  they  leave  the  house  and  with  laugh- 
ter and  jest  pass  by  lovely  garden  paths  out  to  the  foun- 
tain— and  so  the  fun  goes  on,  ending  at  last  with  a  dance 
in  the  dell,  and  joy  and  happiness  in  every  heart.
